　　Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident, it radiates (辐射 from you like sunlight，and attracts success to you like a magnet (磁铁)．Besides, those who are selfconfident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience，their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends.And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a selfconfident person finds success.

　　So how can we build a sense of self－confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?

　　First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will.The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.

　　Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think.What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided.Don't hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them.Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices.Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through.And what's even better is that the things you'll do to build self-confidence will also build success—after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement.No one can take this away from you!
